Activities

1. Fortnite Math Challenge:

   • Ask the student to imagine they are playing Fortnite and have just won a game. They need to collect their rewards, but to do so, they must solve some math problems.
   • Provide a series of addition and subtraction problems related to Fortnite, such as:
   • "You have 10 V-Bucks and you spend 4 V-Bucks on a new emote. How many V-Bucks do you have left?"
   • "You find 5 ammo boxes with 2 bullets each. How many bullets do you have in total?"
   • Encourage the student to solve the problems using drawings or physical objects to help visualize the calculations.
   • If available, use Fortnite-themed images or stickers to make the activity more engaging.

First Grade Talking Points

• "Math is like a game, just like Fortnite! We can have fun while learning how to solve problems."
• "Today, we are going to solve math problems related to Fortnite. It's going to be an adventure!"
• "Let's imagine you won a Fortnite game and now you need to solve some math problems to collect your rewards."
• "To solve the problems, we can use addition and subtraction. Addition is when we put numbers together, and subtraction is when we take numbers away or find the difference."
• "Remember, you can draw pictures or use objects to help you solve the problems. It's like using tools in Fortnite to win the game!"
